Second full day in Spain, we slept in again - what is it with Spain that makes me so sleepy! Today we aimed to explore the shopping portion of the city we missed yesterday. In the middle of shopping we walked past Picasso's Museum, and decided Pete should add this to his Museum experience repertoire - I'd been the time I was In Barcelona with my sister Amy. We did the hour pass-through :) Always interesting - but slightly incomprehensible for me. We finished the day with a long reading session and snacks at the "Taller Tapas Cafe". Left over Paella for dinner - still yummy. We were distracted from our post-supper movie by the sound of fireworks overhead (literally)!
Larger than life patron saints march through Barcelona on parade.
The square a block away was the center hub for Barcelona's Patron Saint festival - which was (apparently) this weekend. Of course, we went out too see the festivities and get some Gelato. The music was interesting - semi-classical ensembles mixed live with techno beats by the onstage DJ - only in Barcelona. Fell asleep a little after the last act (which ran from 1:30-2:30 AM!!!)

Maybe Spain makes you sleepy because of all the dancing? Haha. Maybe not... do they dance as much as they do in the movies? Seems like the dances, parades, etc.. would make me sleepy too. :) Who knows...
Love those random street parades....ummm, I mean religious festivals!
